Get-AudioMetadata returns all empty Metadata for .m4a and .wav files

[msheridan]

I'm happy to provide examples, ffprobe/ffmpeg are able to read the tag information no problem - as are many other applications (e.g.: iTunes, AudioRanger, MusicBrainz Picard, etc).

Get-AudioInfo works correctly - only having issue with Get-AudioMetadata.

Example file with Get-AudioMetadata vs. Get-Media (an alternate PS cmdlet that uses ffprobe/ffmpeg).

There isn't currently any support for tags in Wave files. Can you attach an example m4a that isn't working?

[msheridan]

Apologies. Looking for an m4a example, might have been only the wav that were not returning the data, did not realize they were not supported. I'll look again this weekend and if I find an example, post it.
